High on the Hog: Too fat and too slow to grow - Black Pork

Eating my way through France has always been the very top of my list when visiting France.

One of the many, many pleasures that France beholds in the way of foods, is my love of charcuterie (cured meats like bacon, ham, pate and sausages).

The Noir de Bigorre pig ( Black pig) having been around since Roman times; almost disappeared, but in 1981, it was saved and raised to come back in numbers and today is considered the worlds best ham ( Sorry, Spain).

Sold in thousands of shops within France and acclaimed and proclaimed by France’s famous chefs, next time you are in France, you must taste some.
